THE WATCH TOWER THEODORE BRIEGEL Theodore is the electric shark of the class. What Ted doesntt know about wireless, electricity, and Usuch like isntt worth mentioning. Theodore was president of the Radio Club, CSD. VERNA BRUHN Did you say that you didn't know what auburn hair was? Well, just go and get acquainted with Verna, and look and look at her hair and you have a fine example of auburn locks. ' ELSIE BURGESS Elsie was always an active and loyal member of her class and school. But-she said one day, I prefer alumni to Seniors . What do you suppose she meant? Oh? yes, Clifford graduated in '20. CORA BUTT If you want to hear some true Irish wit, just talk to Cora. She has uttered more Ubright sayings during her four years in high than anyone in the class. And laugh!-the Way that girl can laugh. Cora was on the bi-weekly staff 13D arid the annual staff f3j, 141. EARL MARION CAMPBELL Earl was truly the funny boy of the class. Where therets Earl, there's a laugh. The class of '21 certainly was lucky to have such a good-natured member as t'Fats . He was on the football team 131, 141, and helped give the Class History on Class Day.

THEXVATCHTHNNER HELEN CARLSON Do you know Helen in school or outside of school? If you know her in school you probably think she is very quiet-but if you know her outside of school you think exactly the opposite of that. If you know her both in and outside of school, you think she is a mighty fine girl. CANTON CARNES Here is the famous violinist of our jazz orchestra -Canton Carnes. Be careful girls, because when Canton makes a date he sometimes gets suddenly called to Geneseo-+Sh-sh-sh!! Canton certainly made a fine footman in the class play. BERTHA I. CECIL If you see a girl hurrying down the hall as fast as she can go, with both arms full of books, you'll know it's Bertha. The school was afraid a calamity was going to fall when once Bertha received below A in a test. ALICE RUE CHAMBERS If you've never heard Alice squeak-well you've missed something, that's all. As Mrs. Pat in Mrs. Pat and the Law, she made a sure-fire hit, and also proved that she will make some man an ex- cellent wife. Alice was on the Bieweekly staff CSD. Of course we're not insinuating, but we have heard that Alice likes Rubes +not country ones, either. GLADYS CECELIA CHAON V' Gladys wouldn't be Gladys unless she were with Louise. Like many others she Hbudded outu in her Senior year and became very popular. She was vice president of the Mask and Dagger, 141, and on both the Bi-weekly and Annual staffs, C-ij, Gladys al- ways got A in geometry, and did you ever hear her Uparlez-vous francaisv? 1921
